Our Summer Workshop Season is in full swing and we’re excited to introduce some of the people who help make it all happen. From left to right: Chef Dillon, Cathryn - our Summer Education Intern from East Carolina University - and Summer Fellows Morgan and Mia. Through the end of July, they provide invaluable support across our studios, campus and programs. Their dedication, hard work and enthusiasm are at the heart of a successful summer season.

Imagine spending time in our studios, staying in the lodge, and pursuing your own independent work while learning from one of our staff members or resident artists. Right now, Betsy is here for an independent study, working with two of our residents and .merker while Jen .azz is doing a self-directed residency. Why do artists say they love it? Here’s what we hear: “It’s great being able to spread out” “I can focus on a project I’ve been thinking about for years” “ I can slow down and really concentrate” If this sounds like something for you, reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss options.
